Pros:

I loved the ocean view upstairs in the bar and the exterior area, and the history of the place, It is unique. I wish there was an overhang at the entrance to protect you from rain when checking in, unloading and loading your car. The parking was across the street so it felt a bit sketching not being on private property. But that wasn't, as it turned out, a big deal. Some deep cleaning overall is needed. Particularly in the room I was in had dark dust/mold on the ac vent, and the ceiling fan was dusty. That being said everything else was clean and the furniture nice, bed comfortable. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Also, the ac works great and the fridge even has a little freezer which helps keep your ice. The room needed at least one chair. An ice machine on each floor would be nice but they do bring it to you on request--just different. The day I checked in there was an event of 300 people related to a local surf contest. Though very loud, it started at 5 pm, it was amusing and full of very polite young folks having a great time. The good news is the hotel has a hard stop at 10:30 pm. It literally went from the biggest loudest party one minute to complete silence the next right at the stop time. That is amazing!!!! I had a few friends visit that over the course of a two night stay and we had a blast in my room and in the bar. It's a great hotel for people who love the ocean, historical buildings, are open minded, and not expecting one of the "top 40" hotel experiences.

Pros:

This is the 2nd time I have stayed at Casa Marina. Its history and the fact that is about 100 yds from the ocean were the biggest draws. The rooftop bar and its wonderful view were also an added benefit. The staff at the front desk were great - helpful and focused on making your stay memorable. I sing its praises to friends, and as a Floridian, I will be returning after our season winds down.

Pros:

Understand from locals the hotel is getting updated later this year- definitely needs it. It was adequate but needs new carpet, towels and bathroom upgrades. Please don’t lose the history- rooftop bar was amazing!

Pros:

I love the beachfront location! The old hotel has charm, but there were issues with the TVs and bathroom! The TV in the living room had no sound and the bedroom TV had sound with a fuzzy picture! The bathroom needs a better showerhead and a hook on the door to hang clothes! Some of the electrical outlets didn’t work! There was not a smoke detector in the bedroom! Breakfast was okay! The Wedding I attended at the location was wonderful! Also the bedroom in room 215 could use a blackout curtain.

Pros:

We booked this hotel for 3 nights but after the first night we left. The ac was very loud in our room they offered another 2 rooms the next morning, but the beds weren't comfortable and one had an awful view of the roof and acs. . So we went next door.
